599a. Jesu, gentlest Saviour

1 Jesu, gentlest Saviour,
thou art in us now,
fill us with thy goodness,
till our hearts o’erflow.

2 Multiply our graces,
chiefly love and fear,
and, dear Lord, the chiefest,
grace to persevere.

3 Oh, how can we thank thee
for a gift like this,
gift that truly maketh
heaven’s eternal bliss!

4 Ah! when wilt thou always
make our hearts thy home?
We must wait for heaven;
then the day will come.
